US Checks in at 31st in Latest FIFA Rankings

USSoccerPlayers (November 22, 2006) -- The United States fell two spots to No. 31 in the latest FIFA rankings, published on Wednesday. It marks the first time since June of 1999 that the US hasn't been included in the top 30.

A record of 0-1-2 at the 2006 World Cup dropped the US out of the top 15 in FIFA's rankings this past summer. However, the team's inactivity since losing 2-1 to Ghana on June 22 has contributed to their drop in the rankings. Though the US is still without a head coach since parting ways with Bruce Arena in July, they will face Denmark in an international friendly on January 20 at the Home Depot Center in Carson, Calif.
